Quote from: Duff McKagan on 15-09-22, 09:52AMWe've been told that those working the bank holiday will receive the normal pay for their shift plus time and a quarter on top...if that's true then surely those of us not contracted should get something...

Our store is closed entirely anyway on 19th even managers aren't going in..

BUT one thing that annoyed me was during the queens jubilee.. EVERYONE was getting DOUBLE time and quarter.. but because I wasn't contracted to that day. I just got standard pay! - and I agreed to it BEFORE I found out -- otherwise I would told them to stuff it if I'm getting paid half what everyone else is getting.

No managers were in so I took extra breaks as "compensation" -

I mean why should I do two departments by myself overworking myself on basic time and quarter wage when everyone on the tills or in their own department got to sit and chat with each other not much to do and got paid double time and quarter!! its a quiet store on bank holidays so not many customers but seeing all my colleagues, moving slowly, chatting and having laugh and I'm on my own other side of the store doing 4 peoples jobs with no extra pay!

last time I do that!

That why I dont break my back when working at Tesco.

Quote from: Duff McKagan on 15-09-22, 08:23PMI worked the Jubilee as it was my contracted shift, I most certainly didn't get double time and a quarter, some of my colleagues have said they did but I didn't see any extra. My manager said they'd look into it, I've asked several times whether I should have had time back or extra pay but as of yet I've still had no answer, no money, and no time back.

You might've received it in August. A fair few of us experienced issues and had to wait for it 

@bobmay maybe thats why there trying to get you onto day shift

Is stock control broken in your store?i havent seen a grocery osi sticker since july,

Stock Control is dead now. Grocery only happens once every 2 weeks now for 3 hours ish.

Stock control was on a slippery slope of decline when they went to central control!

Hi there!  I have off Monday / Tuesday, I work on twighlight (4:00 p.m. -00:30 a.m.).  Am I entitled to an extra day off for the Queen's funeral?

No such thing as Stock Control now, just a job title until October when they will be covering everything else

if your "Contracted" Shift, Not Overtime, is Monday then Yes, and you'll be paid 2.25x premium for 4pm to midnight. it's only the hours inside of 00:00 to 23:59 with Monday that'll count so you won't get 30 minutes of it, and obviously the break entitlement in there too so that's also a factor.

They try to get me to move to morning and evening it will not work.I know their game is to remove as much staff as possible than remove nights and give the remaining two options change to morning evening or redundancy. I will be taking redundancy and not coming back to Tesco.

No I've checked my pay right back to June and I never received it, several in my store say they never received it either whilst a few said they did so who knows what's happened. I've asked for it to be investigated because it's not chump change we're taking about here

Yeah make sure you've got let's talks and a wage query form copy in your file, they can do a bacs transfer instantly / have it paid on next payday so its definitely something to investigate and raise a grievance if need be.. They'll soon want someone's head for it.

If you work nights then you would have got it the month after because they cocked it up.

Yep, doesnt matter if we are down staff or they send in loads of delivery, I don't work any harder than normal. Do these people that do get extra pay or rewards......no they don't so whats the point.

PreacherPauly - it's called 'job satisfaction'. Some of us actually enjoy what we do and give it our all - #workethic

There's a balance to strike between being a lazy do as little as possible type and being taken for a fool. Personally I have found it better to be busy as the time goes by quicker, whereas dragging my heels slows the day right down.

I always preferred to be occupied to pass the day quicker, BUT only doing what I was paid to do.

If you're allowed to do the job you're paid to do, in the time allotted to that task, you will be kept busy your whole shift, you'll get the job satisfaction of having done the job you're paid to do properly

Just my own person expressing my own opinion living my own life - but that doesn't seem to be what people like you can accept. Not manipulated, no unpaid extra hours, extremely busy home/social life, favourite colour is red, I don't jump but I do run 5K every morning.

What's the expression, sod you jack I'm alright.
